That article is an interesting read and there have been some good debates in other forums on this exact topic that I have participated in.

What I didn't know is that the company behind the Adblock Plus plugin offers the source code publicly.

It's probably only a matter of time before someone uses that source code to reverse engineer the plugin to create an "anti ad blocker" that would detect whether someone is running the ad blocker and then disable it when someone visits their site to enable the showing of ads.

I would almost like to take this on myself to see if it can be done but don't want to get hip deep in possible legal issues :-)
